<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Topcat7, post: 8063382, member: 73372&quot;]So True!!! In my youth, I unearthed a flintlock pistol and I turned it over to the City Museum. They cleaned it up and put it on display, accrediting it to me.</p><p>Later on, I took my children to the museum and proudly showed them the item and the attribution.</p><p>A few years ago, I returned to the museum (on a nostalgia trip) but alas, my pistol had gone. It was in the vault. Worse still, most of the displays had been reduced to &#039;digital images&#039;. The kids of today might relate to pictures of the past, but I lament the passing of a time when we could actually see the items even if we couldn&#039;t touch them.</p><p>(Long live coin collecting.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
